Engineered by Lance for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2022 Lance Soho 50 relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.9 HP (1.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 2.2 Nm (1.6 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a 12.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Soho 50 measures 113.9 kg (251 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,310 mm (51.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.81-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.01 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 239 km (149 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 48 km/h (30 mph).
